20th International Conference on Real-Time and Network Systems

Pont à Mousson, France, November 8-9, 2012

The purpose of the conference is to share ideas, experiences and informations among academic researchers, developers and service providers in the field of real-time systems and networks.

RNTS 2012 is the 20th edition of the conference formerly known as RTS (Real-Time Systems, Paris). The 12 first editions of RTS were french-speaking events held in Paris in conjunction with the RTS Embedded System exhibition. Since its 13th edition, the conference language of RTNS is english.

    Conference aims and topics

    Text version of the CFP

    The purpose of the conference is to share ideas, experiences and information among academic researchers, developers and service providers in the field of real-time systems and networks. Original and unpublished papers on all aspects of real-time systems are welcome. These include, but are not limited to:

    Papers will be published by ACM within their International Conference Proceedings Series and will be available online in the ACM Digital Library.

    The Program Committee will select one paper for the Best Student Paper Award. In addition, authors of selected papers will be invited to extend their papers for submission to the Real-Time Systems journal.

    RTNS2012 > Camera-ready instructions

    Instructions to authors

    The RTNS 2012 proceedings will be published by ACM within their International Conference Proceedings Series and will be available online in the ACM Digital Library.

  • The leading author of the paper will receive soon a copyright form from ACM. Please submit it as soon as possible. When ACM receives your form, they will email the correct copyright text and bibliographic strip to place within your paper (see below).
  • Formatting instructions can be found at: http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates (option 2). Full papers are limited to 10 pages and must *not* contain page numbers. The copyright text and bibliographic strip sent by ACM must be included in the paper. Please provide ACM Computing Classification categories and terms (see http://www.acm.org/about/class/ccs98-html), e.g. C.3 or D.4.7. The template provides space for this indexing.
  • The camera-ready version in PDF format should be uploaded to Easychair by Sept. 23, 2012.
  • ACM invites authors to submit an image representation of their article. The image must be selected from the article body and can be any of the following: art, graphic, table, figures, etc. (Image files are to be as square as possible, 100x100 ppi and in jpg format.). Authors must supply a caption with the image. The caption length should be no more than 512 characters. Please send your image and caption to "rochange at irit dot fr" by Sept. 23, 2012.

    Keynote abstract

    Getting ones priorities right

    It is now 40 years since the first seminal work on priority assignment for real-time systems that use fixed priority scheduling. Since then, huge progress has been made in real-time scheduling with more complex task models and schedulability analyses developed to better represent and analyse real systems. In this talk, we will take a tour of priority assignment through the ages; a “short history of Pri”. We’ll look at simple task models where deadline monotonic priority assignment is optimal and see how departures from the model break this optimality. We’ll look at Audsley’s algorithm for optimal priority assignment (OPA), including the rules for when we can and can’t use it – as well as a catalogue of situations where it’s useful. We’ll see how this algorithm can be extended to form robust priority assignments, and how they can be used to define priority orderings even when we only have partial information about the system. We’ll look at what to do when we can’t use the OPA algorithm – with the aim of avoiding the need to check all possible priority orderings. We’ll look at priority orderings for systems with execution times described by random variables, and examine systems where tasks have two priorities and ask what can be done in that case. Finally, we’ll recap on why priority assignment is so important and discuss some open problems in this area.

    Biography

    Rob Davis is a Senior Research Fellow in the Real-Time Systems Research Group at the University of York. He received his DPhil in Computer Science from the University of York in 1995. Since then he has been involved in three start-up companies, which have succeeded in transferring real-time systems research into commercial products used by the Automotive and Aerospace industries. Rob’s main research interest is real-time scheduling of single processor and multiprocessor systems and networks.
